Big Hearted Fundraiser
Our Big Hearted Fundraiser was very successful! Through the silent auction and direct donations we raised $65, 241. These funds will run through Birdies for Kids and will be matched up to 50%. So while we don't have a final tally yet, we can definitely share that it has been our most successful fundraiser to date! Thanks again for your participation!
Tracy’s Summer Schedule
Tracy Tomiak, our New Heights Family Counselor, works year round and is available over the summer for families and students needing support.
 
New Heights families can contact her at tracy.tomiak@newheightscalgary.com throughout the summer break.
Way to Go!
Each month at New Heights there is a Way to Go! draw. To be entered, students have to be “caught” going above and beyond for others.
 
Some examples of this might be: helping out another student to solve a problem, holding the door for others on the way outside, or letting someone else have a turn on a favorite game.
 
Teachers fill out a ticket for the students to drop off in the jar in the office, and each month, Mr Williams and Mrs Newfield pull a ticket from the jar, most likely during the assembly. At the end of the year, all the tickets are put back in the jar for a final mega-draw at the end of June.
 
The winner of the Way to Go! draw in June was Graceful from Mount Rundle!
 
The winner of the End of Year Mega-Draw was Xavier S from Copper Mountain!
